I've released a new version of the XfcePowerTools pet that fixes the localization error and a minor .desktop file adjustment. Also redesigned the layout to hopefully be easier to find items and be more visually appealing.

Details available at Saluki-Linux.

Updated to version 2.6.9

The inbuilt editor is now disabled if there is no locale with UFT-8 support.

Added a reset to default for the inbuilt editors color and font settings.

Please test, as before it should be ok, I've tested numerous times.


Here is my latest attempt with xmenumaker, this version has a number of new features and a renewed text editor built with yad.

To begin with this version relies on locale settings to enable the text editor to function correctly.

if you generally don't use .UFT-8 then you will have to enable it once then you can disable it again,
this will be listed in /usr/lib/locale.

Typing locale -a in the terminal will list the locale types, there should be two for your locale one having .UFT-8

I am currently testing 23 on an Asus eeePC 701, booting from sD card. Seems to work for the most part, but there is a possible bug.

It will not unmount this USB stick I have. Tried about 5 or 7 times, sometimes it even crashes the o.s. altogether.

I'll eventually test with another USB stick, but I would like to say that there is nothing wrong with the one that is making Saluki crash, it works in any and every other o.s., including Windows, MacOS, Ubuntu, several Puppies, Slax, etc.

Strangely enough, my USB hard drive unmounts properly.

Sometimes when I try to change directory to /mnt/home, no file shows up. It seems to be unmounted, but when I quit Saluki, the pupsave file can be saved properly.

I am using Saluki on an Eeepc 900

hello every one:
I am facing a little bit problem in setting a screen resolution:
When ever I set a screen resolution as 1024x768, it will reset automatically
to 1280x960 when I restart my system. Means I have to set screen resolution on every boot.
Note: I m using FRUGAL Installation:
Thnx in advance.

Hi umair,

You can force a screen resolution that you know to already work by editing the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file. Probably a good idea to back up your savefile first before doing this.

At the bottom of the file should be a “Screen” section. Change “Modes” from 1280x960 to 1024x768. Save the file and reboot.

Not in Saluki atm but the kill screen in such cases is not a very good idea at all . If PID nr ' 1 ' shows then it does the same when i do a

kill 1 `pidof whateverprogram`

accidentally forgetting the ' - ' dash before the ' 1 ' .

PID nr 1 is busybox init and killing that would normally result in immediate reboot .

*

Problem : If i mount a filesystem on the sdc1 like an old pup-safe.2fs file, i often get that kill-xmessage when i forget to unmount that first prior . Attached screenshot shows my implementation .

*

Problem : Programs that keep the filesystem busy like acpid or desktop-window-manager special sub-programs ( like e17 for example has a temperature module that runs a sub-program ) which prevents the umount -ar of '/' to read-only mode at the end of rc.shutdown if the wmexit,wmreboot,wmpoweroff,restartwm scripts are not adapted for that to kill that process . I can also think of unforeseen additional installed features by the user .
